Laura will have to wait to undergo heart surgeries that were already planned, due to the consequences of gestational malformation. Obstetrician Juliana Rezende said that, ideally, the twin will still have to gain 700 grams of weight to be able to undergo the procedures.
“Probably, Laura will have to undergo several heart surgeries in the next few days, since her condition is complex”, informed the doctor.
What is a mono-mono pregnancy?
Mono-mono pregnancies occur in only 0.02% of cases worldwide. They occur when twins share the same placenta, that is, they are monochorionic and identical, and they are also monoamniotic, being in the same amniotic sac. In this type of pregnancy, the risk of the babies dying is higher, reaching 70% in certain periods of pregnancy.
“I’m lucky. I know regarding her condition, but Laura means victorious, and that’s how I feel. With everything that might have happened, feeling my daughters with me is like having won the lottery several times in a row”, said Meiry, in an interview with metropolises, before childbirth.
